Clothes Haul: Primark, Dune, M&S, H&M shoes, clothes and bags


Top Earrings Skirt - Primark / Boots - Dune


Dress and skirt - H&M / Boucle jacket - Marks and Spencer

Here’s a little collective haul for you guys.  As you can see I’ve been (relatively) well behaved and tend to just pick up a few key pieces when I go shopping. 

First up this little lot from Primark and Dune. I’ve been drooling over these Dune Pantheon studded boots since Christmas and finally got hold of them in the sale about 8 weeks ago. I’ve worn them constantly and they’re so comfortable, and also happen to go with the studded bag I just bought. The loose blue top was £4 from Primark and is meant to go under blazers for work, whilst the long navy skirt was just £8 from Primark and is subtly sexy wit it’s side split. The little resin flower and diamante gem earrings were a steal at £2 but I’m yet to find the perfect outfit to go with them.


I couldn’t resist this Karl Lagerfeld pug bag! I adore it and use it as my laptop bag. The black studded barrel bag was from H&M and I’m using it as my everyday bag (goes to well with the boots). The black bow clutch was a bargain at £5 in H&M and the pastel pink enamel bangle was from Primark.


Lastly is this little lot from H&M and M&S. As you know, I love a bit of Chanel inspired boucle and I bought another tweed boucle jacket in navy from M&S as an alternative to my cream one. The black lace dress and the flippy black jersey skirt are both workwear staples too.



So that’s it! Well behaved I’d say. How about you guys? Are you spending or saving at the moment?

H and M Basics and Neon Earrings Haul



Everybody needs a few basics in their wardrobe. Whether it’s that perfect pair of skinny jeans or go anywhere black blazer, they’re the backbone of every good look.

The T Shirt has got to be the king of wardrobe staples.  It has to be plain, for me a loose fit makes it easy to wear, whilst a detail like a pocket or zip makes it a little more interesting.

These ones from H&M fit the bill perfectly. Slouchy, not too thick to make them heavy but not so thin as to be see through. They’re so good I bought them in black, grey and navy.

The flirty black and white polka dot skirt are also from H&M and were a steal! 

The navy blue TOMS style pumps were from an independent store and I thought they'd go really well with the t shirt and skirt as a super casual outfit.

As for the silver buckle bracelet, I just couldn't help myself, especially as I've been lusting after this one from Mulberry!



The harem pants are not such an essential, but at £7.99 I thought I’d give them a go, just as soon as I can figure out what to wear them with. Maybe a pair of high top trainers.


Onto the best part, these neon earrings! I have such a neon jewellery obsession at the moment, I love how it instantly picks up an outfit and drags it into fashion territory. I’ll be doing my best Pat Butcher impression with these.

What are your wardrobe staples?

Neon jewellery and a buckle up bangle



Neon yellow earrings / Silver belt buckle bangle / Neon pink earrings / All H&M

Guess what time it is? It’s jewellery haul time! I keep doing this, running into the high street and running back out with armfuls of jewellery. I don’t know what it is but I just keep buying jewellery! Maybe it’s because everyone knows jewellery is the quickest and easiest way to liven up an outfit. Or perhaps it’s because jewellery always fits.

Anyway, I’ll start off with my favourites. This little lot from H&M have been an absolute outfit saviour. I love neon jewellery and already have the matching pink fluoro necklace. The yellow and pink fluoro earrings are so fun and great for doing colour clash or against a plain grey t shirt (one of my favourite looks that I’ll be wearing with printed trousers this summer).

The silver buckle bangle is a concession to my lust for this Mulberry bangle. In the absence of funds, this little number will have to do.


Peacock Scarf - Matalan / Triangle ring, jade necklace, peace necklace - Dorothy Perkins / Black stone ring and gold star necklace - Primark

The next bunch are something of an odd assortment of pieces. This peacock scarf is so reminiscent of Matthew Williamson but was from Matalan. The rest of the jewellery includes a lucky jade necklace, a gold triangle ring and a double layered chain necklace from Dorothy Perkins. The star necklace and oversized black stone ring are from Primark, my favourite place for a pick me up.

Do any of you guys rely on jewellery for a fast fashion hit?
